Blind Spot Monitoring(BSM)
*
▼Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
The BSM is designed to assist the driver
in checking the area to the rear of the
vehicle on both sides during lane
changes by notifying the driver of the
presence of vehicles approaching from
the rear in an adjacent lane.
BSM operation
The BSM detects vehicles approaching
from the rear while traveling in the
forward direction at a speed of 10
km/h (6.3 mph) or faster and notifies
the driver by turning on the BSM
warning indicator light and displaying
the vehicle detection screen.
If the turn signal lever is operated to
signal a turn in the direction in which
the BSM warning indicator light is
illuminated while the approaching
vehicle is detected, the BSM
notifies
the driver of possible danger flashing
on the BSM warning indicator light,
and by activating the warning sound
and the warning screen indicator
display.
The detection area on this system
covers the driving lanes on both sides
of the vehicle and from the rear part of
the front doors to about 50 m (164 ft)
behind the vehicle.
1. Your vehicle
2. Detection areas
WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually before making an actual lane
change:
The system is only designed to assist
you in checking for vehicles at your rear
when making a lane change. Due to
certain limitations with the operation
of this system, the BSM warning
indicator light, the warning sound and
the warning screen indicator display
may not activate or they might be
delayed even though a vehicle is in an
adjacent driving lane. Always make it
your responsibility as a driver to check
the rear.
NOTE
The BSM will operate when all of the
following conditions are met:
The ignition is switched ON.The i-ACTIVSENSE warning
indication/warning light in the
instrument cluster is turned off.
The vehicle speed is about 10
km/h (6.3 mph) or faster.
The BSM will not operate under the
following circumstances.
The vehicle speed falls below
about 10 km/h (6.3 mph) even
though the i-ACTIVSENSE warning
indication/warning light is turned off.
The selector lever is shifted to
reverse (R) and the vehicle is
reversing.
The turning radius is small (making
a sharp turn, turning at
intersections).

▼Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
Warning Indicator Lights/Display
Indicator/Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) Warning Beep
The BSM system notifies the driver of
the presence of vehicles in adjacent
lanes or at the rear of the vehicle using
the BSM warning indicator light, the
warning sound and the display
indicator while the systems are
operational.
BSM warning indicator lights
The BSM warning indicator lights are
equipped on the left and right door
mirrors. The warning indicator lights
turn on when a vehicle approaching
from the rear in an adjacent lane is
detected.
When the ignition is switched ON, the
warning indicator light turns on
momentarily and then turns off after a
few seconds.
Function for canceling illumination
dimmer
If the BSM warning indicator lights turn
on when the parking lights are turned
on, the brightness of the BSM warning
indicator lights is dimmed.
If the BSM warning indicator lights are
difficult to see due to glare from
surrounding brightness when traveling
on snow-covered roads or under foggy
conditions, press the dimmer
cancellation button to cancel the
dimmer and increase the brightness of
BSM warning indicator lights when
they turn on.
Refer to Dashboard Illumination on
page 4-24.
Display indicator
The detected approaching vehicle and
warning are displayed in the
multi-information display and active
driving display (vehicles with active
driving display).
Multi-information Display
Active Driving Display (vehicles with
active driving display)
The detected direction is displayed
with a detection indicator (white)
when an approaching vehicle is
detected. In addition, if the turn signal
lever is operated to signal a lane
change while the vehicle is detected,
the display changes the color (amber)
of the warning indicator.
BSM warning beep
The BSM warning beep is activated
simultaneously with the
flashing of a
BSM warning indicator light.
